Itazura Studios is an independent, internationally distributed animation studio developing an original indie animated series. The project is currently in active production and focuses on strong narrative storytelling, stylized visual direction, and collaborative worldbuilding.
We are building a remote-first production pipeline with a diverse team of artists, animators, and filmmakers working across different countries and time zones. The project is designed to balance creative freedom with structured production workflows, allowing artists to contribute meaningfully to both the artistic and narrative development of the series.
The series aims to combine cinematic storytelling with expressive animation, with a strong emphasis on character-driven narratives, visual consistency, and a distinctive creative identity. We are currently expanding our production team to support ongoing episodes and pre-production development.
This is a paid, collaborative indie production, with compensation based on role, experience, and scope of work.
